Chapter 295: Night Attack on Shangdu
Since the emperor came to Shangdu, Wu Zhina's family began to have few things, at first a few sheep, then skins, and then grain, tea, and salt.
The emperor was so annoying, no wonder the Han people wanted to kick him out. Now that the emperor wants milk tofu again, Urina is also relieved in her heart while being troubled, she knows that the emperor is leaving, and delicious milk tofu is an indispensable thing for traveling on the grassland.
A few days ago, the emperor was still accepting Xue, and her younger brother Galu was stupid to apply for the draft, and she grabbed her ears and pressed him to the ground and beat him severely. Although she is not smart and knows that Xue is going to follow the emperor, she is a relative of her younger brother, and she must not be separated from him.
"Uzhna! Uzhna! Are you at home? The patriarch took a few people to open the curtain and went to the tent, "Uzhina, is your milk tofu ready?" ”
"That's it! All right! Uzhna gestured to the low table.
The patriarch picked up the whole plate and poured the milk tofu into the basket, and Uzhna hurriedly stopped, "Doesn't the patriarch of Palermo only need fifteen pieces of milk tofu for each family?" I've got a lot of that. ”
The patriarch shook his head and smiled, "Not much, not much, I don't believe you can count it yourself." ”
"Too much, definitely too much, do you dare to swear to Immortal Heaven? Why don't you wait for my brother to come! ”
"How can anyone swear to Changshengtian because of such a thing, this milk tofu will be collected and sent to the emperor today, otherwise those Xue knives won't recognize your brother!"
Seeing that Urina was still holding on to the plate and refused to let go, the patriarch persuaded: "Good boy, you can understand my difficulties, we are a small tribe and we are lucky to be able to graze in the pasture on the edge of Shangdu." The people around the emperor have learned badly from the Han people, and they have to pick and choose some things, and it is always useful to prepare more. He whispered to Uzhina: "Anyway, the emperor is leaving, this is the last time." ”
Seeing that the patriarch was leaving with the people, Urina stomped her feet hatefully, "The emperor is so annoying!" ”
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shangdu was built by Kublai Khan, also known as the summer capital, and has nothing to do with the Xia Dynasty, because the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty would bring his family and ministers to come here to escape the summer in the summer. Although it is in the grassland, it has the same majestic palaces and elegant gardens as most of the capitals.
However, since the eighteenth year of the emperor's summer vacation in the capital of the custom came to an abrupt end, this year the generals of the Longfeng regime, Guan Duo and Pan Cheng, led troops to attack the capital, and burned the palace of the capital, leaving only a piece of ruins and ruins.
Although the time had passed at this moment, Emperor Zhizheng had not yet slept, and he asked the eunuch to carry a torch to accompany him to wander in this ruin. He came to say goodbye, because tomorrow he will leave here to cross the barren Gobi and enter Yingchang in the depths of the grassland, and he is afraid that he will not have a chance to come back in this life.
Emperor Zhizheng is nearly fifty years old, a little obese, a round face, faint long eyebrows, two big eyes, but there is no look, there are two faint mustaches on the lips, and a neat and beautiful short beard under the chin. It doesn't look like an emperor, but like a landlord with a good life.
Yes, he was a landlord, and his tenants threw down their hoes and took up knives, and not only took his land and burned his house, but now they came to hunt him down. Now he has to pick up the craftsmanship thrown down by his ancestors and go to the grassland and Gobi to herd horses and sheep, how can he not feel melancholy.
Looking at the ruins of the ruined walls, Emperor Zhizheng couldn't help but smile bitterly, most of them have no hope of recovering them, and the Nanban has now sent troops to the grassland, and the ghosts believe that they are going to fight Liaodong. Naha's self-respect and the Ming Emperor are ambiguous, such people are not worthy of such a large amount of blood under the Ming Kingdom, they are rushing here.
The Great Yuan was founded for 100 years, and I have been the emperor for 30 years, so I should have done something. But Sheji is eroded in my hands, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are lost in my hands, and the prosperous capital, the majestic Daming Palace, has nothing to do with me. Thinking of this, Emperor Zhizheng couldn't help but feel like a knife, ashamed and resentful, and slapped his palm on the stone fence next to him, which was only half left.
It's not my fault, it's Boyan's fault, it's his one-handed power and misuse the country to make me a puppet emperor; It's Hama's fault, it's his demagoguery that indulges in the double cultivation of the Tantra of Dogs and Horses; It's Pu Buhua's fault, this damn Goryeo eunuch is causing trouble in the government; It was the fault of Empress Qi and the crown prince, it was they who fought with me for imperial power; There are also Chahan, Boro, Wang Baobao, and Naha, who are greedy and useless......
I just shouldn't believe Hama's slander and belittle the prime minister, if he is still in Dayuan, how can he be so corrupted to such an uncontrollable situation. Take off! I don't want you to die......
"Ahh
A gust of night wind hit Emperor Zheng sneezed heavily, the night breeze on the grassland is still quite cool, otherwise why would they come here to escape the heat.
Looking at a few dumb-headed eunuchs around him, Emperor Zhizheng said displeasedly: "Don't bring my cloak to me and put it on!" He shook his head secretly, he didn't even have this look, it was better for Pu Buhua to be the dead eunuch.
A eunuch helped him put on his cloak, "The emperor has to leave tomorrow, so let's go back to the palace early to rest." ”
The imperial palace in Shangdu has long been burned down, and the dormitory mentioned by the eunuch is actually a big tent. Although there are houses in the capital, they are really not as luxurious and comfortable as his big tent.
Emperor Zhizheng waved his hand and said, "Don't go to the queen's place, well, go to the three holy slaves!" ”
Today, the prince came back from Hongluo Mountain, he came to pick him up and leave Shangdu, the mother and son had endless words as soon as they met, and now Dayuan is dying, and I don't know who he is calculating.
He and Queen Qi were very affectionate in their early years, and they didn't even live in Ouchi, so they stayed in Xingsheng Palace with Queen Qi. However, after a fierce struggle for imperial power, the couple's emotions have long been exhausted, and Queen Qi is old and decrepit, so he is really too lazy to look at the Gao Li maid.
As for the three holy slaves in his mouth, they are the dancing girls who perform the sixteen heavenly demons for him, and the three holy slaves, Miao Lenu, and Manjushri Nu are his three favorite dancing girls, even if they run for their lives, they don't forget to bring them.
Several eunuchs brought the chariot and put it at his feet, he sat down under the support of the eunuch, the chariot just lifted up, and heard a loud bang outside the city, in this silent night was so shocking, the eunuch who lifted the chariot was startled and stumbled under his feet, and the chariot rolled down as soon as he crooked to the emperor......
I have to say that Ma Du and they caught up with a good time, because Emperor Zhizheng wanted to evacuate Shangdu, and the Yuan prince stationed in Hongluo Mountain shrank his troops early, and he didn't even touch a single Yuan soldier in this section of the journey from Xinkailing to Shangdu.
I only met some herdsmen on the official road, and they were all led by Qi Xiang, and there was no danger along the way, and everything went smoothly. At that time, they had already arrived five miles outside the city of Shangdu, and immediately spread scouts to prevent heavy troops from gathering near Shangdu.
The results of the reconnaissance surprised and surprised them, not only were there no assembled troops around Shangdu, but there was no one on the city wall, and the scouts even touched the city gate along the official road.
At first, Ma Du and Li Wenzhong suspected that there was an ambush in the city, so they simply asked the soldiers to climb to the low rammed earth city wall to investigate, and only found some Yuan soldiers sleeping behind the closed city gate.
Hearing the soldier's report, the two of them almost couldn't believe it, and thought that Emperor Zhizheng had fled, so their precautions were so lax, and they hesitated to fight. In the end, it was Lao Qi who arrested a herdsman outside the city, and only then did he ask for the news that the soldiers of the Zhizheng Emperor had not escaped.
The two were surprised and delighted, and immediately formulated a siege plan. You Ma Du and Qi Xiang led a thousand musket battalions, five hundred artillery battalions and five hundred cavalry to attack the city from the south gate. Li Wenzhong took 1,500 cavalry, 1,000 musket battalions, and 500 artillery battalions to the north gate to intercept the pursuit.
Ma Du frowned and asked him, "Will there be a little less people if I bring this?" ”
Li Wenzhong said: "You didn't hear the herdsmen say that the Tartar Emperor is ready to escape, and there are already a lot of people for you, as long as you make some movement, they will desperately escape." I'm afraid that my troops are too small to hold on! ”
What Li Wenzhong said seems to be reasonable, and the pressure he has to face is indeed greater. The two acted immediately, Zhu Wenzhong took the men and horses to detour to the north gate, and Ma Du swaggered to the south gate.
Seeing that the dilapidated city gate turned into sawdust under the blasting of the medicine bag, Ma Du pulled out his pistol and shouted: "The Tartar Emperor is inside, whoever wants to catch the Tartar Emperor, Lao Tzu personally asks the emperor for credit, and there are treasures brought from Dadu here, Lao Tzu will not take a penny is yours......"
The dog interrupted: "Sir, this is not in line with military discipline!" ”
"Morale is more important than military discipline at this time, let's just order people, if there is no real sweetness, how can this battle be fought!"
Qi Xiang patted his thigh and smiled: "What the lord said is very right!" ”
Ma Du waved his arm, "Brothers, rush me!" ”
The dog said: "If we Commander Zhu will definitely say that the brothers will rush with me!" ”
Madu: "......"
